Two Months!

I have officially been a missionary for two months.
Crazy! I feel like I have been a missionary forever and at the same time
like I just got here. It's a weird feeling.

This week we
had a branch Christmas party, complete with turkey dinner, Luke 2,
Christmas music, and an appearance from Santa. I'm really grateful that I
am still serving in the YSA branch for awhile longer. We're getting to
know the members better, which makes life so much better! Things are
moving along and I can't wait to see what happens over this next
transfer.

We are doing two Christmas concerts next week in areas that
didn't get to see the Orange Blossom Special concert series. Sister
Laxton and I did a musical number in church yesterday, too. I never
expected to have the opportunity to use music so much on my mission.
It's such a tender mercy from the Lord.
